The History Department at Texas A&M University-Commerce invites applications for the tenure-track position of Assistant Professor of History, with a specialization in Ancient History or the Early Modern Mediterranean World, pending approval of funding, to begin August 2021. Candidates must have completed all requirements for a PhD in History by August 2021. The department particularly invites applicants specializing in the History of Science or Medicine, whose research interests complement and enhance departmental and college programmatic priorities (such as the college’s interdisciplinary programs and the department’s Public History program), including outreach and engagement.  

The successful candidate will teach undergraduate major and graduate courses in Ancient/Early Modern Europe, upper-level and graduate courses in their specialty, and other courses as needed by the department, as well as contributing to teaching in the core curriculum (US Survey and other core courses).

Candidates are expected to engage in publication and professional activities at a level appropriate to an R2 institution, and in service to the department, college, university, and profession.
